Skip Bayless recently sparked controversy with his comments about the upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show, which is set to take place in New Orleans in just three weeks.
Despite facing ongoing legal troubles, including a lawsuit accusing him of sexual misconduct at FS1, Bayless took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his opinion, suggesting that Lil Wayne should replace Kendrick Lamar as the headliner for the event.
Bayless wrote, “Sorry, Lil Wayne should obviously be the Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans.”
This suggestion isn’t entirely unexpected, given that Bayless and Lil Wayne have been close friends for years. During his time on First Take, Bayless even received a personalized chain from the rapper, which became a notable part of his public image.
Although Bayless’s remark gained attention, it’s unlikely that the NFL will alter its plans to feature Kendrick Lamar, who has already been confirmed as the headliner. Bayless, who has yet to address the ongoing lawsuit, continues to be active on Twitter, despite the surrounding controversy. Whether his opinion will impact the Super Bowl’s performance lineup remains uncertain.
